Stokey Pete Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 No rest, onto the next. A bit of a side by side, which will be the two Hellenic AF jets. I’m just waiting on delivery of some ProCal decals for the 2 seat mount, whilst reacquainting myself the Zeus masking set. Hopefully I’ll not have the same issues I had before. All the paint is MRP lacquers rather that Gunze acrylics. LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander, themongoose and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 This is insane! Superb my man Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 The insanity continues. 2 sessions at the bench to produce what appears very little. The instructions for the mask are a bit ambiguous to put it kindly. But after much more study than the first time I tried this, I’ve cracked it. It looks more akin to its 1:1 colleague. Time to get some blue onto it. LSP_Kevin, scvrobeson, Rockie Yarwood and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 And the result….. There’s a few very minor touch ups to cover up some oversprays. But the making film hasn’t lifted a single speck of paint, so there’s no repair work to be done. I’m very happy with that result so far. scvrobeson, IainM, LSP_Kevin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Awesome job on the masks! I'm sure that it will go better this time, no cracking in the paint. Can't wait to see Zeus finished. Matt Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 I’ve spent a bit of time tidying up the overspray areas. Tiny airbrush needle, low pressure, little blobs of blu tac…….job done. I’ve added some ripple effect shading to the flag too. I’ve used a little artistic licence with this as I’m not a huge fan of the look on the real deal. I prefer it a little more realistic and subtle. Fanes, themongoose, LSP_Kevin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 And so I’m at this point once more. I’ve applied the feathers that cover the spine and CFTs. Not all plain sailing by any stretch of imagination, but…..so far so good there’s no signs of any paintwork splitting./cracking. I shall now leave this to breathe a little while before I continue.

Confusionreigns178 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The Zeus F-16 scheme is easily the coolest and most-distinctive display-markings I've ever seen. I hope this build continues to go very well for you, Stokey Pete. Cheers. Chris. Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Thanks guys, it’s getting near to the end. I’ve had much more success with the masks and decals this time. I’ve got a few little trims and tidy ups to do. Tomcatfreak, matt_1185, LSP_Kevin and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrotten Highlander Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Not normally interested in an F-16 for some odd reason, but after seeing this work I might be pursuaded... Love it so far. Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
